| Honest Amp Reviews: Impossible? I’d just love to be that sure as the OP about.. well, anything really. | |
| Audiophile demographics? Men and women (exceptions from the norm excepted) have different hearing. Men lose more of their hearing with age than women do. (I am amazed at the golden ears some of us still claim to have when we are over 40...). Men lose higher frequencies fi... | |
| Radio Paradise - Superb User Supported Radio- so very grateful for it! Radio Paradise is just wonderful. Such a great selection of music, beautifully curated, no adverts, great sound, and a lovely community of users too. Worth every penny of your voluntary donation. | |
| Streamer's without built in DAC options? Why not try a Raspberry Pi with a good quality HAT like Allo DigiOne? Run Ropiee or some other software on it. £150 all in. Even if you end up spending £3000 plus on a streamer anyway, at least you will have something to compare it with which cos... | |
| Full Range comparison If it’s not too late. I’m a Mark Audio FR fan. In fact, I’ve not built with much else. I made some monitors using a vented box and some 7MS (metal cone) drivers. These are used every day in my son’s studio - but they do need a sub really. Then ... | |
| Your favorite male soul voices Early Robert Palmer, engineered by Phill Brown. | |
| Millercarbon's Mega Vibration Control Journey “Okay so here's how it works. You take a jab like that, turnbowm, boy do I hope you got your money's worth. Because congratulations, you made the list. This is the one and only response from me you will ever get. I am my own moderator, and you ar... | |
| Stupid Mistake It could also be psycho-acoustics. The 116s sounded different to what your ears are used to. You liked that new sound, assigning positive words to the characteristics you liked. Switch back to the 600s and those characteristics were gone. But afte... | |
| Bluesound Vault 2i, with external DAC and hi-end CD player I have a Node2i and it is easy to do A/B tests because all its outputs are hot. I found a small preference for using coax out to an external dac (the one built into my amp) over RCA out of the Node - but I couldn’t tell if that was because of the ... | |
| vinyl versus digital redux Anyone got an estimate of the proportion of all masters which have yet to be captured in red book digital quality or higher? I’m guessing, now that Amazon, Qobuz, Tidal, and Spotify are competing on total digital library size, the proportion is sm... | |
| vinyl versus digital redux Well this seems to make sense, but am I oversimplifying?When the artist’s work is prepared for distribution, a vinyl pressing is made and digital streaming files are prepared. The digital streaming files will be identical to the digital mix prepar... | |
| Streaming Yes - a Raspberry Pi running Ropieee. Less than £80 and serves up excellent USB out if you get the latest version 4. Running it with a Khadas Tone Board with Roon and the combination is brilliant. (Remember that inside some £x,000 streamers you wi... | |
| Have speakers really improved within the last 20 years?? Ok I’ll bite. Your obsession with objective measurement over subjective satisfaction is the problem here. As if you were an oscilloscope rather than a human. In almost all objective measures, vinyl records can’t compete with high resolution digita... | |
| DAC PREFERENCES TO MATCH WITH NODE2 I think MQA is bad news for everyone connected with music apart from MQA employees. Now would be a good time to drop it and move to the glorious Qobuz. | |
| Does your pet listen to your system? My terrier reacts to the flute every time, head cocked, ears up, joining in with a howl. But she doesn’t react to any other instrument. |
